    If someone told you that they were running 20 marathons for 15 years and they said they were having issues with thier legs would that come as a shock to you ?
    In addition to aging Usky has to contend with the mileage he has put on his body in training camps which after awhile is going to take a huge toll on anyone.
    People act shocked because all the sudden age and the physical toll have started to catch up to someone who has boxed well over twenty years.

    You've already been proven wrong with your insane take on how much "knowledge" a part time boxer supposedly has.

    You could use the same excuse for people on twitter looking for views. At the end of the day who has more credibility, pro boxers or a random on twitter. You are no test in the slightest.

    Yeah it was a combination of numerous factors which combined at the right time, a perfect storm, but even the Usyk of a few years ago or a year ago doesn't struggle like that vs Rico and would've got him out of there earlier

    People are giving Rico too much credit same as Ngannou with the Fury fight.

    People thought he was going to get steamrolled but when he didn’t people were hyped up and started thinking he was doing better than he was.
